Total Surrender
"One thing Jesus asks of me: that I lean on Him; that in Him and only in Him I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Even when all goes wrong and I feel as if I am a ship without a compass, I must give myself completely to Him. I must not attempt to control God's action; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I must not desire a clear perception of my advance upon the road, must not know precisely where I am upon the way of holiness. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of the saintliness itself and still more the means which leads to it."

How odd -- I was just thinking about you -- yesterday. I hope you are well. I hope that you are feeling the Lord's hand, leading you on your journey.
Thanks, Diane.
Btw, this is such an excellent post for your birthday. Happy Birthday, sister! I'll be praying and offering sacrifices for you today.
Please tell Jim I thought about him on his birthday last Friday.
Love,
Peter
Happy Birthday, dear friend!
